Supreme Court to look into plea on app-based cab services

The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would look into a plea to regulate app-based taxi service providers like Ola and Uber to make them accountable for offences committed by drivers of vehicles.

The petitioner demanded that all public transport vehicles should be fitted with GPS system along with high-security registration plates besides maintenance of logbook.

They claim that they ban or suspend drivers from their platform depending on the seriousness of the offence committed, however, they can not necessarily be held accountable legally.

This is a very wide grey zone - and one that the petition might help find answers to.

The courts have asked a similar question earlier.
